I bought my AF date coded one in April of '06 and STILL haven't fired it. I actually put it up for sale on the CA forums as NIB. Kept getting requests for pics but no replies except from people trying to lowball me. I decided to keep it for now and am going to take it out to the range here in the near future and put some rounds through her. Charlie, just out of curiousity, what kind of groupings were you getting with your ammo and at what distance? Also, I've been reading on other forums that there is word from HK Reps that limited numbers of AH (2007) date coded models will be coming into the country later on, but that remains to be seen.

The P7M8 is quite a unique pistol, one of my favorites and a must have for the H&K collector. I don't think there is any pistol I can draw and shoot double taps with as quick as the P7. One of the drawbacks to me is that after a few quick magazines, especially in the summer, the frame above the trigger gets hot. Also the price of the mags is a bit high.

I finally shot my M8 this past weekend after waiting one full year. Incredibly accurate and fast follow up shots. The recoil is more than my Glock 19 using the same ammo but it's pretty much a non-issue for me.
